Policy
Proven, ready-to-deploy climate actions that "multi-solve."
Corporate
Corporate policies and commitments to carbon emission reductions are an important way to drive down GTHA emissions. The corporate sector includes all sizes of businesses and companies, financial institutions, industries, real estate owners and developers. Competitiveness today relies on a sound climate strategy.
Recommendations for net-zero focused corporate policies include:
Make specific commitments
Establish a net-zero commitment and target date, with interim targets and reporting, in alignment with the best practices recommended by the UN’s High-Level Expert Group on the Net Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities.
Measure and track progress
Integrate ESG and carbon measurement specifically into corporate, business and capital plans, making climate mitigation and the associated benefits a part of the total business function and focus.
Secure funding and financing
Capitalize on available funding and financing such as federal tax credits, rebates and other programs, available for implementation of qualifying low carbon technologies and strategies
Advance low-carbon procurement
Use supply chain and procurement strategies to access and grow demand for low carbon goods and services.
Implement carbon- and cost-saving improvements
Deliver cost savings, modernization and operational improvements through energy efficiency and decarbonization strategies in buildings, transport and supply chain.
